It will be developed by Crytek Seoul exclusively for Asian markets, and is to be supported by a free-to-play business model.

"Crytek’s proven pedigree with its multi-award winning AAA FPS games combined with our own cutting-edge technology CryEngine 3 and our dedicated team of experts makes us confident Warface will revolutionise the genre and become the next generation in online FPS," said managing director Yohan Kim.
